ALL INCLUSIVE (10′), dir. Corina Schwingruber Ilić
THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS (84′)
Deep in Piedmont forests in Italy, a handful of old men are searching for the rare and precious white Alba truffles, coveted by the world’s wealthiest chefs and connoisseurs. These truffles are impossible to cultivate and almost impossible to find; they are a true challenge for even the most experienced searchers. Only a group of aging experts and their canines can trace them. Armed with their hiking sticks and bad-ass sense of humor, the elderly Italians go to their quest by night in order to leave no trace behind. This absurdist, meditative documentary offers an insight into the world of the elusive fungi and the rituals of the cunning searchers who are trying to protect them from the greed of the outside world, exposing the magic of the nature in the process.
